Garden to table kids camp day five: for breakfast, we made rainbow rice bowls. The kids all took turns chopping vegetables and learning how to prepare each one (which parts to compost and which to eat💕). We made blackberry, blueberry, banana, and cashew milk smoothies. For lunch, we made Hassleback sliced Sweet potatoes and herbed cauliflower soup. We ended the day with snowcones!

Garden to table camp day 4: we started the morning off with a walk around the property and gathered edible greens and herbs from the garden to make a wild pesto and the kids made rosemary flatbread crackers to dip into the pesto. For a drink, we made stinging nettle iced lattes, and for lunch, we made a massaged kale salad with homemade vegan ranch dressing and roasted root vegetables from the garden with sea salt.

Kids will learn how to harvest and prep fresh produce, basic knife skills and kitchen safety, and how to follow a simple recipe. The aim is to give kids the curiosity and confidence to go home and continue making healthy meals for themselves and their families. And of course, between cooking sessions, there will plenty of opportunity for organized and free play

Eclectic Institute offers two summer camps for kids ages 8 -12.* These camps are all outdoors, set on 75 acres of Oregon’s beautiful countryside.
